Optimum performance that won't quit

JL Audio's PowerWedge enclosed subwoofer systems deliver thunderous bass without needing a lot of power. Each enclosure is designed from the ground up to get optimum performance from its drivers, so you get much more than just a box with a speaker inside.

Finished by hand for superior construction and sound

JL Audio uses state-of-the-art automated woodworking equipment to fabricate high-quality MDF enclosures with rugged automotive carpeting, steel-mesh grilles, 5-way binding posts, and solid internal wiring. The enclosures are finished and inspected by hand at the manufacturing facility in Florida to ensure that you get the bass that you expect from JL Audio.

Accurate bass firepower

The CS112RG-W3v3 Sealed PowerWedge handles up to 300 watts RMS, housing one 12" W3v3 subwoofer that pounds out tremendous low end. The airtight sealed design allows the sub to deliver punchy, accurate bass without hogging up all your storage space. You'll enjoy thick low-frequency response from all of your music with this capable enclosure in your trunk or cargo area.

Enclosed Subwoofers 101

An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance.

12w3v3 Powerwedge

This box and sub combo is a very nice item if you understand what you are getting. This sub in this sealed box is not going to rock your neighborhood. I saw a review that said people could hear you coming a block away with this sub and box. I highly doubt that. This combo will sound very nice inside your car, but is more or less inaudible outside your car unless you're really pounding on it hard. I first ran this with a JX500. With that amount of watts at 13 or so volts, it rounded out the sound of the system nicely, but had very little punch. I then ran it with a XD600. With that amp it was noticeably louder and had more punch, but still left a lot to be desired. This thing didn't really start to come alive until I ran it with a HD750, which is 250 watts above the recommended RMS. Now it has some nice punch, fullness and detail. Very responsive. You need to run this well above the recommended 500w to get the full benefit.

Pros:Looks really nice. Sounds very good once you start going above 600w or so. Takes up almost no space when pushed against the back seats in a trunk. Nice, heavy build quality. Nice for SQ. Nice for music like rock, jazz, classical. Responsive, does not miss a beat.

Cons:Does not come alive until you run it well over its suggested rating. Not what you're looking for if electronic, hip hop, etc is what you listen to most.

Hits hard!! Priced right!

I'm not a bass head who needs to rattle all the windows in a half mile radius, so a sealed box was my choice for accurate, tight bass.

This sub delivers and then some. Paired up with the Alpine PDX-V9 amp (500watt RMS 2/4 ohm). I have my sub crossover around 90hz to cover some of fequencies I left off the door speakers. Doors are Alpine SPR-60C and SPR-60. I cut them off at 90hz just to keep them clean sounding. Could probably go a little lower if I wanted.

Back to the JL Audio sub. I have this in the trunk of a 2015 WRX. 12cu ft trunk. Right now laying down, but I'll stand it up when I can fabricate a bracket to hold it from tipping.

This speaker hits very very hard. And on top of that it can handle low sustained frequencies quite well.

Pros:SOLID construction. Just feels like a tank. Hits hard. Powered by a 500watt RMS amp, it really comes alive.

Cons:None that I can think of. I would like some quick disconnect terminals, but I'll add something later to make up for it.

WOW!

Wow. I used to install car stereos professionally in the 90s (I'm old now. HA!) and installed a lot of JL Audio subwoofers in my day. Back in the day, I had 3 JL Audio 12W6 subs and it rocked (had it paired with the Phoenix Gold Outlaw amp). After leaving that job, life happened, etc., etc., and this is my first subwoofer since those days. I paired this sub with the JL Audio JX500/1D mono app. It freakin THUMPS! In my opinion, this combination feels very similar to my old setup except I have A LOT more trunk left over. Playing a lot of bass heavy songs, it hits low and hits hard. I don't like country music much but even THAT sounds good. I really haven't found any music that sounds bad. I also got the bass control knob with this to customize the bass for each song. The enclosure is very nice and covered in a medium gray carpet. The words "JL Audio" is stitched on top of the box and that's a nice touch. You really can't go wrong with this sub. I installed the sub firing back in the trunk in a 2009 Honda Accord sedan.

The punch I was looking for in my hard/metal/classic rock!

By far the best addition to my car stereo system! I have the 'thump' I'd been listening for as well as waiting to feel!!! I can experience what I'm playing in addition to just hearing it!!! Wish I'd had this set-up at 16! I must give much credit to Crutchfield Customer support For their guidance and Assisting me in Choosing a sub that was compatible with my existing components as well as achieving the sound I desired! And a big 'thanks guys!' to the installers at Best Buy for their suggestions and expertise, the other car stereo shops around town should recognize and learn! Waaaay more than totally happy with my purchase!!!

Pros:I 'feel' what I'm listening to! So easy to hook up I'm hesitant to use the word install. One thing I really appreciate is the grill protecting the vulnerable speaker area thus helping to keep my investment safe!

Cons:For me, none. I'd much rather have awesome sound than a roomy trunk so I don't consider it a sacrifice or a trade-off in my circumstance. Some of you kid-hauling soccer moms might feel its a hindrance. Nothing past that I can think of.

Doesn't last

Was recommended to me by Crutchfield to be ran with my slash series 500/1. I blew two of these within a year. The first speaker blew within the first two weeks! I have to admit speaker sounds great but they don't last. For the price i expected to last especially when I'm running it at the rated wattage with the gain on 70-75 percent. This all happened with me not using the car that often. it was placed in a secondary vehicle so it wasn't getting used everyday.

So worth it!

Exchanged a Rockford Fosgate Punch 1, 12 inch ported box with this beauty and i couldn't be happier! I have a Rockford Power 400 amp running the sub and I have to turn down the gain because this things a beast! Either that or I'm just too old to have it thumping, but it's sure nice to have that range to be able to thump like a young teen again. Great quality with the carpeted box and you can feel the weight when you lift it. It sits perfect against the back seat of my Xterra and it plays all kinds of music beautifully. I am now a big JL fan and realize that even though they are a bit expensive, their products are worth it!

i agree w DONT GO SEALED

Written By john, Illinois on Friday, February 25, 2011

This is a good product but only if you're limited to these exact dimensions. It worked in my 2003 Avalon but was lacking. It didn't project like I wanted. I read another review and they bought the ported "S.O." box (1.83 cu. Ft). I got the box and it is so much better for what I need. The dimentions are slightly larger but the reward is soooooo worth it.....the sub is awesome so if your pocket isn't deep I suggest getting the sub separate and buying the Sound Ordnance (S.O.) 1.8FTCU FT ported box! My whole set up is: Alpine 126 BT head unit,Rockford fosgate prime 500 amp, S.O 1.83 CU FT ported box and the 3w3- 4 sub. Its a Good set up especially for what I paid. Crutchfield tech support is phenomenal! They're very patient and will literally help you step by step if needed!

Don't go Sealed

I went with this sub thinking the space savings would be worth it. In the end, it was lacking. When you turn it up loud, the sealed box would actually cancel out a considerable about of bass, far more than I ever expected. I upgraded the older amp with a JL 600/1. In 14 months I ended up killing the speaker and had to send it back, (thanks Crutchfield, exceptional service). I then decided on getting a Bass Bunker ported box and swapped in the speaker from this enclosure. I'm now using only about 3/5's the power from the amp remote volume, and it sounds louder and better then the sealed box ever did. And the bass bunker isn't taking up much more space. In the end, get a component speaker, and put it into a ported enclosure.you'll be much happier that you did.

The best sound for bass

If you own a high end stereo system in your car and you are really exigent with bass this is the sub for you. Drums and bass guitar sound real natural. But if you don't understand or don't know how bass should sound. Get the cheapo brands you will like how your rear licence plate shake. Also this sub sounds excellent when your amp crossover is between 75 - 100 this is the range to adjust

JL Audio CS112RG-W3v3

i love the kind of bass that can be felt as well as heard. i've got a sub that goes this deep but it is to big for my car. i replaced it with this cab witch sounds good but it dosn't sound like a 22-200 Hz subwoofer as speced by Crutchfield. Even with my EQ set to +15 db @25 - 40Hz, and -15 db@100 - 240 Hz, a 30hz sine wave is still mostly harmonic over tones. it sounds this way on my home sterio also.

Thought the amp might be weak

I had a JL sub before and it filled my VAN with bass being only 10 " tHEN IT WAS STOLEN!! I was tied up for a few years then decided I needed a sub back as I blew up one 6" by 9" in the rear of my van and a 5 1/2" component speaker up front trying to make up for the missing bass!! I shopped high and low and got ANOTHER JL subwoofer this time all assembled to save time.I was not disappointed!!! The 12" JL sub has MORE than enough bass for my WHOLE VAN and then some!And it is CLEAN and NOT muddy!! I think its the best bass speaker made As I tend to PUSH my equipment! Myles

Bass again after years

Written By mylestone, Beverly,Ma on Thursday, May 06, 2010

I had a top of the line 10" LG subwoofer with 200watt kenwood amp and small box.It was stolen out of my van when the braindead struck!! I finally had enough $$$$ to replace it.And decided another LG sub was the way to go,as Lg never let me down. I found the 12" LG subwoofer ,box and LG amplifier was the way to go!Being never left down from classical to Rock with my 10"unit I ordered the 12" combo model! It was more Subwoofer than I ever thought off! It blew away my old 10" lg unit I paid $500 for!The power and clarity was just what I was looking for!! Now I have to replace the component speakers I got at Tweeter as I over powered them to make up for a missing subwoofer!!And crutch field was a great help talking for hours with them to get the right speakers! I might replace my 10 year old Kenwood head unit!As new units blow them away with new technology ,so a new Kenwood head unit is in my future! Thanks Crutchfield you have a customer for life as you walk the talk and are HONEST!

Thanks for the LG subwooser and advise!My speakers and head unit are in YOUR HANDS!!!!!

Great sub

Written By lance, Phoenix, Az on Wednesday, March 03, 2010

I've had this sub for about a year now and i have to say its been very reliable. the lows hit nice as long if you have a nice amp. i have a alpine 545 500 watt amp and i delivers well noted bass. i had it in a grand am for a year and now im excited to add it to my jeep liberty. it doesn't take up too much space for its price. i would recommend this sub for somebody who wants great bass but doesn't want to break the bank.

Perfect fit....

This was my first sub so I harped over the choice for a while. I have this in a '99 Jeep Cherokee Pushing 400 watts @ 4 ohms and I think it would sooner rip my truck apart than give out itself. The W3v3 from what I have experienced so far is a very solid sub. I also couldn't decide which to get (sealed or ported) but finally settled on sealed as I listen to everything from death metal to jazz and classical. In short I'm glad I did, this box is just a little bit boomy but very controllable if you don't like that. So, if you're riding the line between sealed and ported and want this size sub, get this one. Don't even think about it anymore, just get this one it rocks.

jl does it again

i had and sold the jl audio w7 (which i loved) but i have a much smaller vehicle so i have limited truck space i usually dont go no lower than the w6 but i figure i would give it a try and i did and i love it jl has the nice clean bass i like no matter what kinda music you listen to and thats what i love about jl

Rocking Good!

Written By Jamie, SF, CA on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Using this sub with a JL Audio 500/1 amplifier in an Audi A4.

Works great on every type of music. I'd recommend that you make sure that you use damping material on your trunk if you use this sub as it will shake your fillings, if that's your pleasure. I listen to a really wide variety of music and this sub makes them all sound real.

JL does it again!

I have been using JL products for about 15 years and keep coming back because of quality like this. This sub is phenomenal and it's nice not having to give up your whole trunk. Mine is powered by an Alpine Mono MRP-M850 at 400 watts 4 ohms and I wouldn't change a thing. Go ahead and buy it if you want great tight bass response with a 12" sub that goes low!

JL 12" W3V3

Written By P, Chico, Ca on Monday, February 18, 2008

I installed 1 of these in my 2000 Lexus ES300 with a Fosgate P400.2 and the thing knocks. Sounds so clean. I guess Lexus, BMW and Audi (as well as others) have an extra layer of insulation in the trunk cause it doesn't rattle that much. It fills the cab like a champ and you can feel the bass outside the car also. I would recommend a remote bass EQ for your amp it's just convenient. If you want tight, clean bass go with JL. Well worth it!

PowerWedge Enclosure: The PowerWedge enclosure features solid
V-groove MDF construction with internal bracing to ensure structural integrity.
The subwoofer enclosure features an angled back design to help save space in the
cargo area of your vehicle. The W3v3 PowerWedge enclosure is finished in
high-grade automotive gray carpet and features a steel-mesh grille to protect
the loaded JL Audio W3v3 woofer. The JL Audio PowerWedge enclosure
features a pair of gold-plated 5-way binding posts on the left side of the box.
The JL Audio subwoofer enclosure has a installation depth of 12.875".

Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's
proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of
DMA optimization, W3v3 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long
range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field
in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion,
faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass.

Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC): The Vented Reinforcement Collar
is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability.
By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and
spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material
weaknesses. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and
providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes. the
VRC also feature slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil
windings to reduce thermal compression effects and enhances reliability.

Spider/Lead Wire Assembly: The W3v3 features a unique spider, coil
and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the
speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. The spider is
insert-molded into a composite carrier tray which also incorporates the
terminal assembly and lead wire strain relief features for enhanced
reliability and optimal alignment of parts. The flying lead wires are
carefully controlled and strain-relieved without resorting to woven-in lead
wires, which can degrade spider performance.

Elevated Frame Cooling: The elevated frame design of the W3v3
delivers high-velocity air flow through slots directly above the top plate
to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but
also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power
compression.

Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radiused feature on the edge
of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum
forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround
behavior.
